VESSEL is a multi-sensory dance film researching the cross-section between movement, sound, and tangible mediums.

Performed by Gregg Sainvilus, Ashley Bland, and Tara Durkin
Sculpture by Ndivhuho Rasengani
Directed by Aidan Gibney
Music by Emawk

Ndivhuho Rasengani, featured South-African sculptor, reshapes industrial materials in a way that underscores built-in narratives and creates new ones around Afrocentric histories and people. The themes create a harmonious tension suggesting movement and stillness, ancient and future, tenderness and callousness, fragility and security.

Emawk, Boston-born, Kenya-raised songwriter, provides an audible binding agent to tie together live performances into a cohesive visual experience.

Dancers, Gregg Sainvilus, Ashley Bland, and Tara Durkin, experiment with the sculptures in an effort to find symbiotic relationships between the human form and physical methods of art exhibition.

A movement visual from the SYNERGY collection.
